Two more things Steve, it was Barbarossa that got the 3.7cm named 'Doornocker', not France 1940

Because it was quite capable against the mass of French tanks, there weren't many Char B1 Bis, and not many Somuas either.

The 3.7cm was replaced by the 5cm PAK38 a/tk gun during 1941, which could cope with a T34 under 500Ms with solid shot, but not a KV1 until about 200ms.

Yes, the 7.5cm PAk40 did eventually came along in late 1941, a scaled up 5cm mostly. The Armies in Russia were still not well equipped with them until late 1942, Panzer divisions and the Waffen SS getting them first. PAK38 remained in service throughout WWII.
